Hillary Clinton update
Apparently Senator Clinton has been caught in yet another lie.  This time it was regarding her 1996 goodwill trip to Bosnia.  The video begins with her claiming dubiously that if a place was too small or too dangerous, they wouldn't send the president but instead the first lady.  OH MY GOD HOW DO OUR FIRST LADIES EVER SURVIVE!!!?!?!?!?!one!!!1!111  Not only is this policy claim ridiculous, it also apparently applies to the president's teenage daughter as well, as young Chelsea Clinton traveled and arrived in Bosnia WITH her mother.

Senator Clinton continues to describe that they landed among sniper fire (the plane wouldn't have been allowed to land at all if that were true), and that there was no greeting ceremony, instead they had to run with their heads down to the vehicles.  the video playing along with this speech shows a different story.  Aside from the fact that it's hardly likely the president would even allow not only the first lady, but his teenage daughter to go on such a "dangerous mission," the video shows a completely different story.  There was no sniper fire, but instead handshakes and smiles during the greeting ceremony Clinton claims never took place.

So what does this mean?  Normally, we expect a little embellishment from our politicians.  This campaign is a job interview, and who hasn't spiced up the language in a resume every so often?  You'd be hard-pressed to look through history and find one elected official who never did so.  What Senator Clinton has engaged in is far more than some innocent resume-padding.  She is giving herself the title of diplomat where none is deserved, unless we lower our standards and appoint Chelsea Clinton, Sinbad and Sheryl Crow to that office as well.  It would be like putting "led a money-saving initiative during a major financial crisis and saved the company $500,000" when all you really did was take minutes at a middle-management staff meeting deciding which 9 people to lay off.

She's lying so much, I have a feeling that Hillary Clinton is going to be the next Chuck Norris, except probably much less funny and far more tragic.
